Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 6908308" data-attributes="member: 996">Not what I said.  I meant, what if your theme calls for some spells not on the sorcerer list.  There's more than a few of 'em in 5e, unlike 3e where the list was practically identical to the Wizard's.My solution, as a DM, is go ahead and work with the player to pick out spells that work for the theme (and the campaign, and won't break anything or overshadow the other PCs).  Maybe a bit hands-on/"the game shouldn't 'make' me do it."  :shrug:  Price of empowerment.Compared to everyone casting spontaneously, I don't find either of those particularly noticeable.  Not compared to the spontaneous/prepped divide in 3e, anyway.  A prepped caster who hypotheticalloy wanted the greatest possible range of spells available prepped each slot with a different spell, so the second time a spell came up, he didn't have it.  The spontaneous caster who held back one top-level slot (and sorcerers started a new spell level with 3 slots, so that wasn't terribly hard) had to option to cast any spell he knew.  That was a huge a difference.  It's gone.I've seen the odd non-magical murderer, too. ;P  Not 'what's wrong with arcane trickster?'  There is a dearth of origins, yes.  The whole design conceit of giving every class sub-classes may have backfired a bit, there.  The original sorcerer was about as bare-bones as could be, and as a result you could hang just about any heritage or 'origin' you could think of on it.  Later they came up with feats, just 'little' 3e feats, that gave you a bloodline and some added spells known.</blockquote>
